its called the effects of sin in our lives. It screwed up our perfect DNA and everything, now we have stupid birth defects
[Why are infants punished for the sins of others?]
look, I'm not God so I dont know why He punishes the way He does or how He lets it happen, but I do know that He says He punishes to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Him. So consider it unfair if you want to but I trust my God to be faithful and just.

Didn't Jesus say something like "No son shall be punished for the sins of the father"?
Let me pose a hypothetical.
Fair punishment for an offence is not a concept familiar to this Biblical God.
Well, the Bible also says that children won't suffer for the sins of their parents. I guess it just depends on what passages one wants to believe. Of course, the Bible also says that God is good and loving and, in fact, is love itself, so if God gives you some horrible defect to punish your parents, it's because he loves you... or something like that.
